Aversion now just feels like a tension in the skull with a little in the chest but it's impermanent. I can wait and then the usefulness of bringing up the benefits of the right action seems to replace the pain with motivation. Just asking in my mind "where are you aversion?" gets me to stop the old train of thought. The aversion really does pretend to be tiredness but when it's influence dissipates and is replaced with motivation the energy comes back. Very strange but it's fun to manipulate, and matches quite well with what Daniel Kahneman's work on attention and effort is.
F*&k it! If advertisers are so good at manipulating our desires and creating desires we should take charge and create our own desires.
Mnemonics acts as a feedback loop like noting and it gives you that reminder you need to keep going and why you want to keep going. I've been enjoying the benefits of having lunch ready before I leave for work, clean dishes, and laundry when I need it. This may seem obvious but when you have poor habits it can be a revelation. All I'm using from the Willpower guide is feedback loops/developing motivation/disenchantment.
The biggest drain of time and the biggest lure and pull is anything with a screen. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

When the aversion starts, the feedback loop to remember why I should do what I should do forces the brain to ask "can I be motivated for this?" It's equivalent to having a coach following you except you are your own coach and he/she is always there when you slip up.
This has sparked some inspiration to create a mnemonic for work. I know I still don't follow that "Meet your happy chemicals book" as well as I should so it's time to include reminders that I can bring up at work on how to deal with people. At work it's crystal clear that serotonin is the way that people are motivated. Any little joke or remark will make people lose their serotonin and start thinking negatively about you. If you don't mirror their pain (related to nonsense complaints and fake problems) it will bother them.
My pet peeve of envy is another nut I haven't been able to crack because when you are in close quarters with people, any improvement on your part is instantly noticed by someone and it spreads like a network of Stasi informers. Just BRUTAL! Even cleaning my desk up before other people for an office move was enough to cause envious comments from people. People are hyper accurate and even to the point of paranoia over pecking-order and the most petty differences are evaluated. Many of the managers seem to use cronyism and nepotism to insulate them from this envy. It's like a wolf-pack and you have to be part of the dominant group to survive.
Having this accurate awareness of the craving of serotonin has given me more understanding of my own feelings. One manager made it pretty clear she knows how ostracism works with people even if she doesn't know exactly how. I've been going through some of that ostracism and now I can see it's a need on my part to belong. It's like starving people of oxytocin and serotonin. You can feel it in your body but once you know the game you can let it go because the self-referential thoughts and beliefs are the real problem. It's very easy to get bitter and angry with "the system" but ultimately it's my fault if I let it get to me. As long as there's people watching you there will always be a "the system" to complain about. LOL!
Csikszentmihalyi was right in that people need to find more independent sources of happiness.
“To overcome the anxieties and depressions of contemporary life, individuals must become independent of the social environment to the degree that they no longer respond exclusively in terms of its rewards and punishments. To achieve such autonomy, a person has to learn to provide rewards to herself. She has to develop the ability to find enjoyment and purpose regardless of external circumstances.”
So what I need to remember at work:
Create my own rewards. (Carrot)
Develop skills that make me more autonomous (skill)
Test perceptions with reality to reduce disappointment (disappointed)
Build pride in something once a day (pride)
If I'm not the top dog I should enjoy the fact that I have less responsibilities and pressures those people have (dog)
Imagine yourself in someone else's shoes (shoes)
Build trust with people in small stages (trust)
Match work with skill-level and increase skill-level before taking on more work (match)
Create legacies even if small (small)
Take satisfaction in small influences I have (satisfaction)
Share pain with others (pain)
Bugs Bunny chases the Carrot with Skill but is Disappointed when a Prideful Dog with nice Shoes, who Bugs doesn't Trust, lights a Match for a Small bomb of revenge for the Pain Bugs caused.
